A family was target shooting in the Arizona desert. An 8-year-old was practicing on a .22-caliber rifle. While she was shooting her 4-year-old sister darted in front of her. The 8-year-old pulled the trigger and shot her sister in the head. The 4-year-old was airlifted to a hospital in Phoenix where she was pronounced dead.
The area of the shooting is popular with target shooters.
Ohh shoot.

Ohh Shoot highlights unintentional shootings. Some might refer to these as accidental shootings, but accident is too often interpreted as unavoidable. The shootings on this blog did not have to happen. Safe storage, better gun design, gun safety training are just some of the measures that could have prevented these tragedies.
